Who's gonna save the soul...

This is an idea that has been on my brain for awhile, and with the passing of Rick James, it has come up again. We were watching the Dave Chappelle sketch and it was kinda of hard to laugh now. And I am also pissed at those bitches at WYLD 94.9 for their dumb ass commercial with "Rick James" saying "I'm dead bitch!" Classy. It is so depressing to see so many soul singers and musicians have lives that end so tragically and quite short. Like Barry White, Roger Troutman, Curtis Mayfield, almost all of the Isleys. Not to mention Tupac, Biggie, and Grandmaster Jay. Just to name a few of the oh so many. So sad. We totally have to start respecting and valuing these talents while they are here and are able to appreciate it, as they so well deserve it. It sucks that they have to get their due posthumously.

Shall we play a game?

I miss old school video games. Classic NES was tight! So what it was 16 bit, those games were the shit. I mean Mike Tyson's Punch Out!, Mario Brothers, Kid Nikki, and Zelda!!! Mannnn, would play that shit for hours, or watch my bro. Sega was cool too. Gotta love Shinobi, Street Fighter, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. Here are some random video game thoughts:
Was Piston Honda related to E. Honda?
Why was "the Kid" a cheap ass Rocky Balboa?
Did they have to get permission from Randy Savage to name that guy "Super Macho Man"?
Why was Luigi slower than Mario?
Didn't Mario Bros. have some racist ass connotations?
Does anyone else agree that Kid Nikki had the whackest ending? That shit made me wanna get my money back!
Didn't those floating hands in the Zelda castles scare the hell out of you? Speaking of which, how long did it take for the "castle" music to clear out of your head after turning the thing off?
Good idea Street Fighter, change the Mike Tyson-esque name from M. Bison to Balrog.
Did the designer of the "Chaos Rings" stages take an LSD tab before making these up?
More to come soon... not your average girl I guess.

Admit it...

I was looking at the playlist of whack ass WYLD 94.9, and on the into page they had a picture of something I hadn't seen in a long time... it was... a hair bear!!! OMG, I haven't seen one of these in ages!!! One of my cohortmates showed us a pic of her back in the day, and she had one. She said she had to lean back in her ride so her hair wouldn't hit the roof and get messed up. I think of what Black girls did back around that time. I guess it was all about the bi-level hairstyles with the bangle earrings, or the basket weave. So stylish. I'm sure all pics like these are buried in old shoeboxes or confiscated for blackmail ransom by evil individuals.
